Timothy Liljegren Highlights

[Coco-puffs]

Also, the Leafs just hitted 49 contracts, with Brown to be signed, right ?

We found out through Nylander's situation back in his slide year that if an 18/19 year old player is loaned to a junior team OR to a team outside of North America he doesn't count against the 50 player contract limit. But if he plays in the AHL he does count against the contract limit even if his contract still slides.

Question is, during the offseason- prior to his location being decided- does it count towards the limit?  Not that we really need to get more players under contract, even for the Marlies- but some of these camp invites may be worth one.  I guess we could try and get them on AHL-only deals, but we may lose out on one who can get an NHL ELC instead.

I dug up the thread where Nylander's contract slide being off the Reserve List was discussed, in hopes of concrete references to follow up on. Gotta say, it's as clear as mud.

Best to assume Liljegren's contract counts against the Reserve List 50-contract limit until otherwise specified. Even better would be if we trade out some bodies.

Edit: correction (see below)

Reserve List is different than 50-Contract limit.  You can have 90 guys on your reserve list, and that includes drafted but unsigned players, or players with SPC who are playing in Junior or overseas.

If I were to guess, Liljegren's contract won't count against the limit because his last team played for was in Sweden.  Nylander didn't count against the 50-Contract limit until he left Sweden and joined the Marlies.

You're right; I mixed up the terms as I was just reading the below, looking for rules about the SPC limit.

"Reserve List" means the list of all Players to whom a Club has rights including all Unsigned Draft Choices, all Players signed to an SPC (whether or not currently playing in the NHL), and all Players who have signed an SPC but who have subsequently been returned to Juniors. A Club may have on its Reserve List, at any one time, not more than 90 Players, which shall include the following:
(a) Not more than 50 Players signed to an SPC and not less than 24 Players and 3 goalkeepers under an SPC. Age 18 and age 19 Players who were returned to Juniors, and who have not played 11 NHL Games in one season, shall be exempt from inclusion in the 50 Player limit.

Any Club violating this provision shall be liable to loss of draft choices as determined by the Commissioner.

Hope this kid becomes the top 4 dman we need.  Way too expensive to trade for one.

Fixed it for ya.

Hope this kid becomes the top 4 dman 2 dman Nik Lidstrom-like, 1st ballot HHOF we need.  Way too expensive to trade for one.

Fixed it for ya.

Glad that there is no pressure on the kid...

But he could be the steal of this year's draft (again, no pressure).

Probably shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket regardless. Definitely not a 17th pick in the draft basket.

Still, if you want to compete for Lord Stanley's Omelette you have to be prepared to take a few eggs out of that basket and break 'em.

What we need to do is make sure Rasmus Dahlin gets mono too at some point next season so we can draft him as well when he slides down the draft.

The basket is Liljegren. Why do you want to break his eggs?

The important thing is keeping other team doctors away from our secret research into mono being a temporary condition.

That would be a master stroke in Leafs scouting / player development.  We send scouts with vials of mono virus to infect players they want to slide in the draft.  Who needs a top 5 pick when you can sabotage a top player's draft year?

Which one is the snowmobile?

Well that's the thing about this team; they never do things (over) easy.

I see what you did there

Don't egg him on

There's definitely some hockey gods tomfoolery happening these past few years; whose soul was how many souls were sold?

1) see this black hole of poor decision making just before the Leafs land Nylander?
2) 1 ball away from McDavid, but arguably one of the top consolation prizes
3) Babcock picks us after 20+ years of playoffs
4) We juuust scrape into last place, and we juuuust nab the 1st overall pick on the final ball in a year when the 1st overall option is this guy.
5) The guy I wanted us to tank for tanked for us instead.

Forget that, we just need to figure out a way for Jeremy Bracco to kiss the players we want to draft.
